CHAPTER FOUR
The Month following the accident sucked as bad as when I first moved here. To the Family's dismay, as well as mine, I was pushed back into the Lime Light of the school.
Crowley had joined the newly formed, 'hey lets stalk Bree until she decides to kill us' fan club with Newton as the Club President. When ever I told him it was no big deal- that he didn't mean to run me over, or that he should be helping Mike if anyone, but Noooooooo! He always tried to carry my books, and sit next to me in my crowded lunch table. Mike and Eric were even less enthusiastic then me... if that was possible.
All in all, a few good thing that came out of it; Edward and I could actually talk like normal vampires... well friends if anything. And Alice, after Her mates crude remarks that day just pushed herself that much tighter towards my inner circle. Emmett, Edward and now Alice were the only ones who would talk to me excluding Esme and Carlisle. And as far as I was concerned, Rosalie and Jasper could go die in hell.
But I still couldn't shake the remorse that was growing in my stomach- growing till I couldn't bare to swallow it- that I should at least acknowledge their presence while I was not at home. They would play it nice and wave, speak, talk, smile at me- but I still felt guilty. I tend to Ignore Rosalie and Jasper- as much as they did to me. I never really could get a word in with Emmett during school- for he was with Rosalie, or in his senior classes. Alice, I did talk to her in Spanish, she was just a overall nice person and I couldn't really hold anything ageist her. And Edward- only Biology we could talk without the whole family getting there too sense in.
The year had been escaping me- It was now March fourth and I was Talking to Alice in her room. It was a pale yellow- and brightly lit with candles opposed to lamps. It had a real- 1960s throw back to it. Now I got what she meant by 'It's my room. Jasper just lives here.'
"Why don't you let me do your make up... Or your hair? Please Bree?" She was whining yet again. "You really need to do something different then Rolling in mud or ironing it pin straight."
I rolled my eyes. "There's no way in hell Alice."
"Please!?" She begged, diving on the floor in front of me. "Please, please, please, please, please?" She whined.
"No!" I said, staring back at the TV, and flipping it till I found MTV.
She snorted. "I bet you don't even know how to use a curling iron."
"How much you bet?" I laughed.
She snorted. "Your amusing." She laughed, falling back on her bed. Of course there was no reason for her to really have a bed- Vampires didn't need to sleep. It only proved how much more physical her and Jasper's relationship then what meats the cell rang then. "Mine!" I yelled, running down the stairs to get it, leaving Alice smiling.
Apparently I was to late. Edward's hand was already on the phone, raising a curious brow at me.
"Oh My God, really Jessica?" He said, in a playful voice and rolling his eyes.
I laughed, while he threw me the phone.
"Hello?" I asked to the phone, rolling my eyes.
"Bree!?" A highly chirpy voice answered me.
"Oh! Hey Jess what's up?"
"Hey. Um.... I was wondering if I could have your permission to-"
"Permission?" I echoed.
"Yeah. To ask Mike to the turn around dance. You weren't going to ask him- were you?" Her tone of voice was hopeful. She actually felt threatened by me! I blurt into a riot of laughter- though Edward was frowning and rolled his eyes.
"Wh- Whats so Funny!?" She asked.
"You! You think I would go with Mike? The Stalker. The scary crazy guy who caries around pictures of me in his wallet?"
"Uh-" She sighed in relief and embarrassment. "Fine Bree. Who are you going with anyway?" She asked.
"Uh- I'm not going." I quickly said.
"Why not!" She demanded.
"I- I'm not going to be in town." I started.
"Oh. Where are you going?" She asked.
Help! I hissed in my head. "Seattle." I tried.
"Why are you going there?" She asked. Edward: HELP! I asked in my mind while thinking of something to do that day.
"uhhh-" As he searched his mind I herd Alice scream from up stairs.
"Shopping!"
"Shopping." I answered Thank you Alice!
Jessica wasn't her normal happy perky self in Trig and Spanish the Next day. For once she was quiet- I was debating on asking her if Mike turned her down. Two reasons: One, if he did turn her down, I was the last person she would want to tell. Two, I also liked the new, quiet, emo, non-perky Jessica.
He turned her down. I had already knew so, but I didn't know how bad they both were taking it. Regardless, It was the only line I was thinking as I saw her and Mike sitting on opposite ends of the table instead of there close cozy seats that were next to each other. Jessica was chatting with Eric and Angela about some movie that just came out; But, Mike was looking down, playing with his food, and staying quiet for once.
Maybe this isn't all that bad. I laughed in my head as he walked with me to Biology. He even couldn't find something to talk about till I was sitting at my seat next to Edward.
I was growing bored so I turned to Edward to mumble something. "I think I broke him." I said and Edward grinned with a short laugh.
"I bet you did it on purpose." He smiled.
"So," Mike started off looking at the pale white tiled ground that piratically matched my skin. He seemed to not here Edward and I chatting at all. He was playing with his fingers and not meeting my eyes. "Jessica asked me to the turn-a-round Dance." He mumbled quietly- almost to himself.
"That's good!" I said with false enthusiasm. Truthfully, the high energized, perky me was scary, and I would die if I had to spend more then 24 hours like that. "You'll have tons of fun with Jess." I tried.
I herd Edward snicker at the tone of my voice next to me. I gave him a small glare.
Mike was frowning. "I told her I would think about it." He said.
I frowned. "Why?" I hissed darkly, feeling suddenly bi-polar.
He seemed to be taken aback. "Well I was.. wondering, hoping, I meanif you were going to ask me..." He said. "I wouldn't say no." He suggested.
I sighed. From my perishable vision I saw Edward's head move to watch my carefully with drawn face. "Mike tell her yes." I said coolly.
"Why?" He asked louder then he should have. I herd mumbles from around the class whisper my name and turn to face us. "Did someone ask you already?"
I laughed once as his eyes flickered to Edward.
"No, I'm not going at all." I stated.
"Why not!?" Mike demanded in a higher tone then usual.
"Shopping trip to Seattle with Alice." I winced. As if I needed anymore clothes within the Next Century.
"Can't you move it to some other weekend?" He asked sadly.
"Nope." I popped my lips on the 'p'. "now go, scurry of to Jess and tell her yes." I sighed. "It's rude as much as she likes you."
He stiffened. "yeah, your right I guess." He muttered.
He walked off as the starting bell rung and he sat down.
"Maybe that's not a Good Excuse. Mike might try to go stalk me in Seattle." I muttered to Edward who laughed once.
He rolled his eyes. "You can't use the excuse after all. It'll be nice weather so Alice and Jasper plan to go hunting."
"She had a vision?" I guessed as he nodded.
He smiled. "She has been looking for a nice weekend for about a month now." He said sighing.
"Mr. Cullen?" Mr. Banner called. "Stop chatting with the lady and please answer." He snapped.
"The Lady!" I hissed in a low voice. I have a name! I hissed in my head.
Edward quickly tilted his head. "Carlose Linnaeus."
The look in Banner's eyes was a priceless, hatred and surprise.
"Bree?" Edward asked, breaking me from the 'look'. His voice was lower now.
"What?" I asked- a little rude.
He smiled. I almost knew what he was thinking. Same ol' Bree. "Why did you say no?" He asked, curious.
"Several Reasons. One, I don't like Mike like that. I hardly like him at all. Two, Jessica would try to kill me and I would have to murder her with my awesome vampire powers, and three, I could do soooo much better." I grinned at the last one.
"I see." He muttered as we both grew quiet and listen to Mr. Banner's lecture about taxanoomi and classifying.
The rest of the class went by fast and when the Bell rung, I was up and gathering my books. Edward graced me with his presence until we hit the door and parted our different ways.
I walked as fast as I could to the Shiny silver Volvo: Edward already in the car turning the key into the ignition. He was always first. For some pathetic reason, beating me was what dignity he had left to hold on too in this out of whack family.
Once I had got to the car I rolled my eyes, thinking 'men.'
He laughed once, nodding forward to Eric. "Your stalker's coming." He warned, laughing as I snapped my head up to the Eric who was warily making his way towards me.
I was wide eyed as I jumped in the car.
"Step on it, Edward!" I hissed, my eyes in slits.
He only laughed at me. "You have to get it over with." He said, slowly, I mean as slow as possible. I swear I was about to slap him. But there was a little stiffness in his face.
Worried. Was what I guessed, but I didn't care.
"Don't worry, the rest of them will catch up." I tried to persuade.
He shook his head blindly. "No way in Hell I'm missing this show."
I rolled my eyes, as I tried to dunk down and be unnoticeable.
He laughed at me. "Bree, your far from unnoticeable." Edward threw in, reading my mind. He muttered as I herd loud occurring foot steps, and a hard knock on the window. Eric.
I slowly rolled the window down to just my eyes. "Yes?" I asked in a level voice. "Oh, Hey Bree." He tried. Oh? Like he didn't see me in here... "I was wondering, Would you like to go to the turn around dance with me?" He said in a rush.
I was growing impatient. "I thought it was my choice." I emphasized
I tried not to laugh when his eyes went to Edward for a slip second. "Oh." He muttered looking down. "Well I'll uh, see you around." He muttered, his hands sliding down the windows in a screeching noise and leaving a smudge that I couldn't help but look at Edward.
"Damn it! I just washed those!" He said with remorse high in his voice.
"Karma's a bitch, huh?" I laughed.
"Is that Humorous to you, Bree?" He said in a twisted voice, between anger, payback, and joyfulness. He adjusted the review mirror.
I gasped. "You wouldn't!"
He only crookedly smiled at me and pulled out, causing a traffic jam- and I noticed that the car that was behind me was Tyler's car, his parents' economic focus in a bright silver color. I winced at that.
"Damn you Edward Cullen!" I hissed as he rolled down my window.
Slowly, Tyler papered in front of it with a friendly smile. If only he knew how hostile I was right now. I know I should be nicer, but Eric and Mike had already used up all my paticence
"Hey Bree!"
I gave Edward one last glare. "Hi." I paused. "Sorry for the traffic. He seems unreceptive to drive." I hissed, settling my peripheral vision on Edward.
I felt a tad movement as Edward put his hand around the back on my seat and rolled his eyes.
Tyler laughed once, wary and uneasy and Edward had a frown on his face as he puled his hand quickly away. No telling what was in his mind right now.
"Umm, I was going to ask you while your," He laughed, smiling. "Trapped, If you wanted to go to the dance with me?"
I nearly screamed at him as my brows plucked together with unhappiness. "I'm. not. going." I was almost twitching with anger.
He was affraid of me now. "Oh thats fine." he muttered. "We still have prom, Right?" Tyler deluded himself into thinking. "Mike told me that, but I thought you were letting him off easy." He smiled sheepishly.
I shook my head, my face growing calm. "No, I'm going up to Seattle that weekend."
"Why does it have to be then!?" He said, a tad to loud before looking down.
I laughed once. "I just, already had plans to go to Seattle." I shrugged. "I want to get out on this small town for awhile... Ya know?"
"Yeah... I'll See you tomorrow." He muttered before walking off back to his car, head low.
I watched him leave, and when I saw him get back in his car from the rear view mirror, I turned back to Edward who's eyes were delighted and happy, giddy even. It was sick!
"Do you just get a thrill of joy when you watch one of my friendships crumble?" I snapped twisting to glare at him.
He laughed, looking at Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie who seemed to be going even slower then normal.
I frowned at his lack of response to me. "Are you Ignoring me now?" I muttered at his childishness behavior. I couldn't stay mad at him when he actually was playing innocent.
He looked at me from the corner of his eyes. "Perhaps." Another crooked smile.
I rolled my eyes, trying not to laugh at him now.
As I herd the car door open and everyone slipped in soundlessly.
As Edward quickly pulled out of the school's parking lot and made it to the highway before Alice had to speak up. "Another stalker turned down?" Alice asked with a smile on her lips.
I laughed, nodding. "Yep."
"And with Edward in the car!?" Emmett said in a loud booming voice Again. "I'm surprise he didn't explode from jealously." His laugh sounded and small tints of Alice's giggle.
Edward muttered in a annoyed voice, "Shut up Emmett!"
Hope you liked. :) The next chap will be up soon (I hope)
